Heerlik gekuier.

Baie goeie ligging. Netjies, skoon, veilig en vriendelike personeel. Pragtige uitsig oor die see. Naby Ramsgate hoofstrand en die privaatstrand ook 'n lekker ekstra bonus. Ons het ons honde saam gehad en kon hul oral saamvat en was so gerieflik en gemaklik. Sal beslis weer besoek.

Had a great time.

Very good location. Neat, clean, safe and friendly staff. Beautiful view of the sea. Close to Ramsgate main beach and the private beach also a nice added bonus. We had our dogs with us and could take them everywhere and were so convenient and comfortable. Will definitely visit again.

Skoon en netjies. Mooi uitsig. Het lekker gebly. Daar was ongelukkig nie eetborde in ons eenheid nie. Ook nie genoeg eetgerei nie.

We ignored the problems and still had a pleasant one night stay.

We were upgraded to the honeymoon suite which had a fantastic 180 degree view and was very spacious. In the morning we had a lovely walk on the beach. The furnishing was pleasant and comfortable and the king-size bed and linen were good and clean. But no coffee or milk sachets were provided until requested from security. There was no drying up cloth. In the bathroom, no hand soap or shower soap was provided until requested from security. There were 2 standard sized thin bath towels and one old hand towel. No bath mat was provided. The toilet seat was damaged, disgusting, unhygienic, and corroded underneath. Only 1 half roll of toilet paper was provided. The bath cold water tap was inoperative, so only hot water from the hot water tap could be used. The brick block tiling around the bath was unfinished and razor sharp. Its edge should have been sanded smooth. Evidently, maintenance is a problem.

Fantastiese plekkie.

Gracelands Beach Lodge was die beste vakansie wat ons in 'n ruk gehad het. Die kamers is skoon en netjies met alles wat mens nodig het. Die werkers is almal vreeslik vriendelik en oulik. Tannie Grace het gehelp met alles wat sy kon, en altyd beskikbaar. Die privaat strand was baie naby en lieflik. Skoon en lekker. Ek sal enige tyd terug gaan en voorstel aan enige iemand. Baie dankie.

Fantastic place.

Gracelands Beach Lodge was the best vacation we have had in a while. The rooms are clean and tidy with everything you need. The workers are all very friendly and cute. Aunt Grace helped with everything she could, and was always available. The private beach was very close and lovely. Clean and nice. I would go back anytime and suggest to anyone. Thank you very much.

Die rustigheid van self.

Die personeel is almal baie vriendelik en gaan definitief die ekstra myl om seker te maak jy is ontspanne en het alles wat jy nodig het. Die kamers is netjies en word baie mooi skoon gehou. Kos word nie ingesluit nie, maar hulle ontbyt is vullend en van die bestes wat ons die vakansie gehad het. Wat die plek besonders maak, is die uitsig oor die see en die toegang tot 'n privaat strand. Ons het lekker saam met die ander gaste gekuier en dink almal is stresloos huis toe. Dis definitief die ideale wegbreekplek.

The tranquility of self.

The staff are all very friendly and definitely go the extra mile to make sure you are relaxed and have everything you need. The rooms are neat and kept very clean. Food is not included, but their breakfast is filling and one of the best we had on holiday. What makes the place special is the view of the sea and the access to a private beach. We had a good time with the other guests and think everyone went home stress-free. It's definitely the ideal getaway spot.

Pragtige uitsig teen 'n ekonomiese prys.

Die eenheid het 'n asemrowende uitsig. Maklike toegang na die privaatstrand. Alhoewel van die meubels 'n bietjie opgradering kort en die kombuis 'n bietjie ekstra toebehore kan bykry vir selfsorg, was ons tevrede met die verblyf en sal weer daar bespreek.

Beautiful view at an economical price.

The unit has a breathtaking view. Easy access to the private beach. Although some of the furniture needs a bit of an upgrade and the kitchen could use some extra equipment for self-catering, we were happy with the stay and would book there again.

Plek word nie onderhou en netjies gehou nie.

Hul gebruik 'n drukpomp en boorgat. Konstante probleme met water al is die krag aan gewees. Sukkel met terugvoering. Hul het mat gewas, plek het toegestaan en gestink. Ek het 'n moisture absorber gaan koop en daar gelos om die vog en reuk uit te vat. Ondraagbaar gestink. Kragproppe by wasbakke - baie gevaarlik. Sy het om verskoning gevra en gesê sy sal die eerste aand se geld vir ons teruggee. Ons het niks weer van haar gehoor nie. Ons moes die eerste aand in 'n ander eenheid gaan stort wat ook onderhoud nodig het. Kaste was half afgevee in ons eenheid. Stort nie behoorlik skoon nie. 'n Hoekbad/Jaccuzi is baie onprakties/onhigiënies in 'n waterbeperkte area. Sit eerder 'n groter bad in. Management moet 'random checks' gaan doen op eenhede om te sien daar kort onderhoud en as daar nie behoorlik skoongemaak word nie. Krane se 'fixtures' was nie alles daar nie. Stort se dreineenheid is los. Lawaaierige gaste tot 3:00 in die oggend. Is daar nie reëls in so 'n gastehuis nie?

Place is not maintained and kept tidy.

They use a pressure pump and borehole. Constant problems with water even though the power was on. Difficulty with feedback. They washed carpet, space allowed and smelled. I went and bought a moisture absorber and left it there to absorb the moisture and smell. Stinks unbearably. Power plugs at sinks - very dangerous. She apologized and said she would give us the first night's money back. We heard nothing from her again. The first night we had to shower in another unit that also needed maintenance. Cupboards were half wiped in our unit. Do not shower properly. A corner bath/Jaccuzi is very impractical/unhygienic in a water restricted area. Put in a bigger tub instead. Management should do 'random checks' on units to see if there is a lack of maintenance and if they are not cleaned properly. Krane's 'fixtures' were not all there. Shower drain unit is loose. Noisy guests until 3:00 in the morning. Aren't there rules in such a guest house?

Waarde vir geld.

Gracelands was sekerlik een van die mees gesogte lodges op sy tyd. Die lodge is steeds aanbeveelbaar, maar daar is wel versorging nodig. Ons kamer was asemrowend met 180 grade see-uitsig! Die strand wat slegs 50 m se stap ver is was die hoogtepunt.

Value for money.

Gracelands was certainly one of the most prestigious lodges of its time. The lodge is still recommendable, but it does need maintenance. Our room was stunning with a 180 degree sea view! The beach which is only a 50 m walk away was the highlight.

Teleurstellend.

Verblyf was nie op standaard nie. Plek val uitmekaar uit. Kamer is vuil. Gril om op vloer te loop of om op stoele te sit. Badkamer was ook nie skoon nie. Die eetgerei wat voorsien word is nie ordentlik skoon nie. Die staf was vriendelik en gewillig, maar glad nie opgelei nie. Nooit ‘n bestuurder gesien nie. Wie ook al dit is moet afgedank word! Die ligging is puik net jammer verblyf is so swak.

Accommodation was not up to standard. Place is falling apart. Room is dirty. Grill to walk on floor or sit on chairs. Bathroom was not clean either. The cutlery provided is not decently clean. The staff were friendly and willing, but not trained at all. Never seen a driver. Whoever it is needs to be fired! The location is great just a shame accommodation is so poor.

Goeie dag, omdat ons nie vol bespreek was nie, het my dame die gaste by aankoms die geleentheid gegee om te kies in watter kamer(s) hulle wil bly want soos u weet het hulle vir no 1 gevra, maar hulle het op no 3 besluit. Ons was selfs bereid om vir hulle 2 kamers te gee om dit gemakliker te maak, want hulle het gevra om vroeg in te kom - 11h00 (sonder enige kstra koste het ons dit gegee) Hulle het self besluit op kamer 3. Ek was nie daar by aankoms maar was 'n paar keer gedurende die naweek daar en hulle was nie daar nie. Ek het my nommer vir hulle gegee om te kontak indien probleme en eers nadat hulle vertrek het het hulle laat weet dat hulle nie tevrede was nie. Ek is jammer daaroor en ons plek is oud, maar ek kan u verseker ons probeer dit so skoon en netjies as moontlik hou en personeel is altyd vriendelik en baie behulpsaam. Om u 'n voorbeeld te gee, ons was die naweek vol en 90% van die gaste het weer bespreek omdat hulle dit so geniet het en goeie diens ontvang het. Ons het op die oomblik gaste in wat voorheen hier was. Ek vra om verskoning as ons nie aan Mnr vd Merwe se verwagtinge voldoen het nie en het persoonlik vir Mnr vd Merwe gekontak. Hoop u vind dit in orde, want dit is vir ons belangrik om 'n goeie verhouding met kliente en met u as LekkeSlaap te behou.

Great location but very run down.

Graceland is beautifully located on the beach and has all the potential to be a great stay. Unfortunately our room was in a very poor state, with loose cupboard panels, stained ceiling, collapsing shelves, threadbare towels, ants in the kitchen and much more. Room service was promised for Christmas Day but never arrived, and the room wasn't very clean even when we arrived. The place needs a thorough refurbishment to make it acceptable.

Jammer om te hoor en ons sal daarna kyk en regstel. Gelukkig was al ons ander gaste Baie tevrede en het lekker gekuier.
